“I love that even though Uber has grown so much in the past few years, there’s still the spirit that we’re truly building access to transportation and that we still move fast! There’s no shortage of technical challenges here that also have meaningful impact, which really excited me when I took the job at Uber.”

Dianne Laguerta

Director of Data Science

"One thing I love about working at Uber is the immediate real world impact my work has. Uber tackles some of the world’s most challenging data science problems at scale and in real time. Four years later, I'm still excited to get up every single day and work on these problems."

Caroline Van den Hauwe

"You won’t believe the transparency level which the leadership team brings to every employee in the weekly company-wide all-hands. This transparency requires a high level trust and makes everyone feel like a true owner."
